the great vacation purge

This vacation is all about personal cleansing, in a way. The yoga will bring my body as well as my mind to new places (my teacher asked me what I wanted to work on this week, and since I didn’t have a ready answer, she decided for me, and of course we’ll be doing my least favorite pose, due to the excruciating pain it causes, Virasana). But I’m also going to be working on my living space, too. It’s time to really purge, get rid of clutter, stop holding on to a lot of crap that I keep around.

begin vacation . . . NOW!

I am now officially on vacation. For a week. And I’m not going anywhere, I’m not doing anything specific. I’m going to do lots of yoga, knit a lot of stitches, and cook a lot of food. That’s it. I’m psyched!

pizza and knitting, post-gym

Some friends and I used to get together semiregularly to knit, but as you can imagine we are bad about getting together on any kind of real schedule. Plus my former status as a strict winter knitter (I lost all urge in the summer) meant that knitting group was never a sure thing. But JS decided we needed to resurrect it, and I’m quite glad that she finally pushed us to do so. Snorko and I went to the gym at 5:30, then, sweaty and hungry, we headed on over to JS’s place for pizza and knitting. The pictures are bad, because I was too lazy to get up and try to take nice ones . . . bear with me.
